Marshalee, While I am very reluctant to take antibiotics, and I am very anti-allopathic, etc., I have suffered chronic depression for at least the last 30 years. I have tried anti-depressants from every catagory. SSRI side effects were horrible for me. Recently, my doctor asked if I had ever taken Wellbutrin SR, and I hadn't...so being ever on the look out for something which would work, I tried it. I took the first 150mg pill at the pharmacy. Twenty minutes later I arrived home and my wife could see the difference in my face. I was calm (not drugged) and smiled at her. My concentration was vastly improved and I was laughing, like a normal person.
This drug has broken the cycle of depression for me. I am now able to funtion without fighting all of the side effects of depression. I have learned how it feels to not be depressed and have concentrated on keeping those feelings. After about a year of varying my dosage according to my needs, I am now taking only one 150mg tablet every other day, and sometimes I will take a 100mg on the off day. I experienced no side effects until I reached a dosage of over 300mg/day, and then I had some trouble sleeping and increased anxiety. My wife is experiencing the early stages of menopause and has also found that Wellbutrin SR provided immediate relief from depression and mood swings with no side effects. She too, after reaching 300mg/day, has found that 150mg every day with an additional 150mg every now and then to be adequate. I have tried all of the other methods, St John's Wort, 5-HTP, etc., etc., but none worked. This has worked for me. Your mileage may vary. I don't want to start a thread on this and only offer my experience for you to consider. Others who have had different experiences should speak about them and not to me, I am not going to debate anyone over this...got too many other fun things to do. I will answer any relevant questions off list, however...but I won't defend what I am doing, so don't waste your time...I have been in the barrel too long and don't care.
